Topic: AT-AT walker (Read 5994 times)

The AT-AT is really one of those that I wish I would have been really "into" collecting soon enough to pick one up. I'd like to get one someday, if I could find a decent deal on ebay or something (or if they re-release it or something), although I don't know where exactly I'd be able to put it right now. I'd sit it on the floor if I had to though, sounds like it is a fun piece.

The At-At was one of the toys I really wanted in the vintage line, but never got when I was a kid, so I was really estatic when the POTF2 version came out. Truth be told though, I was disapointed with the electronics bacause I wanted to put my INT-4 in there.

Durring TRU clearance, I picked up 4 for $10 each. I don't know why, but I couldn't pass it up. Finaly, a few years ago, I bought a vintage one from e-bay for $60 shipped. Aside from a creased decal, it was in exceelnt shape with working electronics. It's one of the prides of my collection and has my INT-4 sitting inside.

Yes, there is a little display inside that has a display and some buttons that make the display light up and some recorded phrases from ESB play when you press them. It takes a good chunk of the troop carrying capability out of the "hold" but it's still a pretty cool feature.

Since I don't have one of these bad boys, I didn't realize that the electronics impacted on the size of the cargo hold. Besides this addition, is the POTF2 AT-AT the same mold as the vintage one? Any other differences?

I was poking around inside the POTF2 AT-AT, taking the batteries out for long-term storage. Anyway, I couldn't find a way to take the stupid electronic box out. Is it possible? I'm just curious, since they stopped working on one of my AT-ATs, even after I put fresh batteries in.

I have two AT-AT walkers. the first one I have I paid 100 dollars for from action figure expess. the second I paid 67 dollars from e-bay but I also got a snowtrooper with cannon, and a rebel trooper with his cannon all MIB.

I was going to try, but never go around to it. I think you can, but you have to do some dissasembling.

With the announcement of an Endor AT-AT, we should be seeing these again sometime soon. I understand Toy Fair doesn't generally show exclusives, and I'm pretty sure this was scheduled for Target or Toys R Us only. I would guess we are looking at a 60.00 price tag minimum.

Since it is supposed to be from Endor, I am wondering if they will leave the electronic gadget out of this one. Everything from that was from Hoth anyhow. I hope they leave the paint alone though. I don't want a bunch of green and brown paint splattered on it.

Finally got to crack open a boxed AT-AT and I must say that the figures are piss poor, really piss poor - atrocious for that matter. I'm a carded collector and only violated a few clones to display around the entertainment center. I won the JD give away for the TSC Hoth wave a few months ago (which were opened) and I must say that I'm rather disgusted by the pack in figures with this set. They look to be on par right with the vintage stuff, if not worse - wow waist/torso articulation.

If Hasbro can put so much work into updating a figure, then I wish they'd do the same with this vehicle - or any other one for that matter (save for the Tie - besides those sagging wings.) I have no problems with the AT-AT as I never owned one as a kid, but imagine the possibilities if Hasbro were to rework this thing. Yes I know they'd never do it and it would cost a fortune if they did, but it's nice to dream.
